SPECIAL PROJECTS

Homeownership, with its long-term security, is a wonderful thing.  But homeowners know it takes constant care and maintenance to keep a home in good repair.  When money gets tight and urgent bills must be paid, repairs or improvements are sometimes left undone.

 

Dallas County Affiliate tries to tackle a few of those repair or improvement projects each year for our neighbors in need.  Volunteers provide free labor and the homeowner makes small monthly payments to repay the cost of materials and subcontractor’s labor if required.

 

If you have a project you cannot handle alone, check out our pre-application quiz below.

  • I OWN A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME in DALLAS COUNTY, MO

  • I LIVE IN THIS HOME and I need a repair, remodel or improvement PROJECT that will COST $1,000 OR LESS (no charge for volunteer labor)

  • My household INCOME IS BELOW the MAXIMUM amount on the Gross Income Limits chart

If you can answer "Yes" to the following six statements, please fill out an application

  • This project is needed because of SIGINFICANT CONCERNS: (examples) A) Health, safety or security issues; B) Weather protection or comfort problems; C) Accessibility

  • I have the ABILITY TO MAKE A SMALL MONTHLY PAYMENT to pay for materials and/or sub-contractors used on my project (all volunteer labor is free).

  • I am WILLING TO PARTNER WITH HABITAT VOLUNTEERS and assist with the labor on my Special Project (if physically able). Family or friends may help me complete my assigned "Sweat-Equity" hours.

NOTE: 

Dallas County Habitat currently does not have volunteer labor available for roof, foundation, and/or HVAC projects. 

Also, we rarely undertake projects involving mobile/modular homes.
